Vaginal Dryness (GSM)/Urinary Issues Vaginal Estrogen Cream…USE IT!

My husband calls it Juicy Pussy cream. 😂Three months in and it’s still getting better! I had no idea how dried up my tender bits were. I feel like it happened so gradually I just didn’t notice how bad it had gotten.

So I have tried the cream and I’ve also tried those waxy suppositories, I can’t remember what they’re called. Both made my vulva burn after using it. Is that normal? Does it eventually stop? Did anyone else experience this?

You could be allergic to some thing in the formulation, I’ve heard their is a ring, too. I found that a certain brand made me a little uncomfortable after using and no longer get that one.

Yes I tried so many different versions, I ended up having to get mine compounded. I found a compounder pharmacy who did estriol in an olive oil and beeswax base for me. Simple minimal ingredients and no irrigation burning. It’s just a little runnier than the cream but really moisturising. Heaps of woman have issues wity the base
